The friends OF the Blair Bill IN
Conpres. have given up all hope Of
its consideration 10y the present
house. aud thus will be killed one
Of the most iniquitous and danget-
o1s measures ever introduced into
the American Congress. It'is al
Rad a dead duck during this ad-
,ninistratiou, ana we hope that It OF
~ other kindred measure will ever
again be devised to rob the Treasury
and t.ample upon the constitution
Hinder the guise Of benefit, it was
a curse, introduced and championed
bv the protectionists and the bond
holders to get rid Of the cash on
hand. aud thus keep up tie necessi t.
for their present high tariff and pre-
vent cancellation Of the lnteres
hearing debt. IF the advocates Q
the BLAIR Bill want to help the pee
ME of the South, let them vote
reduce the tariff on the necessities c
l,f.tor when relieved of ,hls bur
den. the States will be able to lev
and collect a school tax that woul
give them better system OF pun
education thBn eyer could be hope
for under this bill, and at the sam
time preserve the integrity Of Il
constitution and the rights of Il
States.

TIE TENNESSEE MIDLAND RAIL
ROAD.

The columns Of the Bulletin have |
been to a great extent devoted late
Nv to the necessity Of effort on the part
OF our citizens TO obtain the location
through Bolivar of this great road.
And we want now to emphasize
asain its Importance TO us, 1t is well
! known that number of our citizens
have taken the liveliest interest IN
the matter and it's believed their
/ efforts have not been in vain. But we
need general and united action by all
our people.
The road will be built and that
too speedily. The route will be
selected within a very short time,
and the question Of stupendous in
terest to US all Is, shall it PASS through
Hardeman county or shall we stand
= idIy by and allow some more en-
! telpusing city to secure the prize?
We want to impress upon our Peo-
Die the danger Of delay. Now Is
/ the tine to put forth all our efforts
, 1t is now or never with us. All thai
our citizens and our COMMITTEES
i have done will go for naught unless
u we act promptly and harmonlous'y
o. And we assure our readers ina
10 united and harmonious action nov
d means success. If the road shoul'
r unfortunately miss us and go "a
y jackson, we would be ruined. n
ID other railroad could ever be eXPecte
nc to be built via Bolivar. If we coul
eu ON the other hand secure its locatlc
le via Bolivar, there Is no doubt b.
ne that the Ripley & Ship Island Il. L
ne would be extended north and Gro
The Illinois Central at Bolivar al
and we would thus have three graz

all the advantages Of comPeutl

Tho uuersignen committee OF mer
chants and cotton buyers Of Bolivar
Tennessee, appointed at a citizens
meeting to prepare a memorial to-
the merchants of Memphis IN adv
yocacy Of the location Of the Midland
Railroad through Bolivar, submit t
the following:
1. Memphis Is our natural mar
ket but we have no direct railroad
communication and hence the
greater part Of all the cotton and
produce raised in Hqrdeman Co, is
shipped to other markets. We be-
Iieye with this railroad completed
to Bolivar we could ship to Memphis
from Hardeman County 5000
ales of cotton per annum whlc n
otherwise would go to Philadelphia
New Orleans, St, Louis, and New
Y ork.
2. The completion sof this line
would enable us to put down cotton
| in Memphis at least one dollar &
bale cheaper than the present rate
and this would inevitable induce thu
shipment Of all our cotton, to say
t nothing of other produce to Mem
5 Dbis and the correlatiYe benefit 0
8 cheaper rates on returning freignt
would ensue, and permanent trad
t relations would be Immediatel
v established,
i 3. The proposed route opens u
a terri tory whose commerce natura
o " belongs to Memphis and whic
d Memphis would control in perpetul
d tv if said route is adopted.
"a 4. No such advantages could {
ut offered by any other route, becau
:. the proposed line penetrates the
IS termediate country between the
50 g. n on the north and the M. d
Id on the south and is not tributary

M Memphis whoud command alm'

'ad AS much could not be said

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
IN UNFORTUNATELY GIRL.

Amy Cooks Escapades-How She Was
Captured In a Lodging house.
Thursday afternoon after Amy Cook, the
unfortunate girl who is imbued with great
kleptomanic propensities, had left Judge
Beatty's residence, nothing was seen of her
until evening, when she was noticed in the
vicinity of the Golden Eagle Hotel, where
she secured meal. With the money she
had taken she did considerable shopping.
having bought two ladies' toilet dressing
clses, fancy 81 apron and some small
toys. Yesterday morning officer Ash
ascertained that she had obtained a room
IN the Metropolitan block and had occupied
Inc same during the night. He immedi-
ately went to the room indicated and ask ed
admission, which Amy refused, saving Mt
the same time if he persisted in his de-
mands for admittance she would throw
herself from the window TO the pavement
Delow. Fearful that she would execute
her threat, the officer called to his aid some
OF the ladies who live in the house They
carried on long conversation with the
child, endeavoring to persuade her to open
the door, which she had locked
from the inside. She was cunning
enough to keep her key in the lock
so that the door could not be opened from
the outside. After considerable DELAY she
Withdrew the key from the lock to obtain
look at the ladies outside, when they i'm
mediately opened the door by means of
pass-key. The child was then caught be
fore she could do herself any injury. When
found she had only four dollars of the
money with her. The articles that she had
bought were redeemed by the storekeepers
and the money returned to its owner.
Every day some of her exploits are dis
covered, and it is supposed that the articles
taken by her, if collected, would amount to
very large sum. With her usual liber-
atty, she intended the toys she had bought
were to be given to some of her friends. it
IS stated, also, in this connection, that some
children with whom she had been accus-
toned TO associate, were often seen with
articles of high value such as white satin
French slippers and white satin fan worth
at least SIS and it was not known where
they had obtained them, as it was well
known that their parents did not, and were
not able, to purchase such articles. The
child IS now confined so closely to her
home that it will be impossible for her to
escape.

however, but on the last two days of the
